That should settle a few nerves*

Drinan for me. Good goal, hit the bar and worked so, so hard.

Clarke for me, many critical tackles.

Drinan for me, started slowly but got much better.

Wislon-Brown also decent for me.

Clarke. Covered well & looked sprightly.

I have a feeling that it’s going to be difficult to choose people this year, as the MotM performances are all going to be about huff and puff.

Drinan looked awful until he scored. Then he seemed to get confidence. But was knackered at the end. Wilson- Brown looked OK in a defence that scared me to death! Clarke bailed out the defence a lot. Smith took his goal well and drew defenders to him

It was easier to say who wouldn’t be MotM.
Ripley looked dodgy
Mabete scared the hell out of me!
Munroe and Snowdon looked suspect defending. But the cross for Smith’s goal was pinpoint
Wright didn’t look like a defender.
Ameen didn’t touch the ball
Glatzel didn’t do anything with the ball
Oldaker and Nichols looked slow and off the pace. (It was a miskick that Oldaker scored from)

One I didn’t notice was Kilkenny!

I thought Mabete made us look a bit more solid!

For me it was either Drinnan or Clarke.  As said, Drinnan didn't do much until he scored but was his usual self thereafter.  Clarke seemed to be the one driving standards when we were behind and carried that on throughout.

Went with Drinan for his goal but Clarke was really good & saved the defence several times as well as getting forward when possible.

Drinan for me.

Drinan just edged it, but Clarke ran him a close second, he saved our arses more than once covering back. Wilson-Brown looked good too.

Seeing a Drinan inspired man of the match vote makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
